REQUESTING THE DIRECTOR OF HEALTH TO CONVENE A WATER FLUORIDATION WORKING GROUP.

HR 109 is a procedural resolution requesting Hawaii's Director of Health to convene a Water Fluoridation Working Group. The group would include the Director of Health (as chair) and county water department representatives from Honolulu, Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii counties. Its key task is to study best practices and obstacles for adding fluoride to public water systems, with a report due to the Legislature by August 2025. This resolution does not mandate fluoridation but seeks recommendations for potential future action.
